This is very true. I had several (3) volunteer copy editors go through my novel (thank you "weedfreak!") and each found errors that the previous copy-editor didn't notice. And after all that, I went through and found another half a dozen or more errors.
There's just no way I can afford to hire a professional editor. The best I can do is offer my next book up to Beta readers on-line when its ready. (And from the looks of the chapter I'm revising this morning, it's going to be a while yet. Egads!)
